Evening all,
So I get a brand new Cat 9300. Configure as an existing one with new IPs and such. Upon hooking it to a Cat 9500 via Cat6.
From the 9500 I see the IP I assigned in a show ip arp, the show mac shows the mac off the right port and I can ping it from the core. Ports on both sides are up/up but I can't use the management IP to ssh into the new switch. "line vty" is built out the same as a working switch.
Now one thing that initially came to mind is the fact I'm going switch to switch with a straight through Ethernet cable and it should be a crossover.
But my boss says that's not it I have to generate a crypto key.
So him being the boss I go to generate a crypto key
crypto key generate rsa label mylabel modulus 4096 general-use storage ?????
I've tried nvram: flash:, even put a USB thumb drive in there and made sure the switch could read the dir, but every time it tells me that's not a suitable RSA location?!?
Any thoughts?

Well it was the crypto key.
switch(config)#crypto key generate rsa modulus 4096 label mine
did not ask for a storage space, just generated the key
